Alright, listen up, y’all. Gonna tell ya how to fix up them fish eggs, the salmon kind, without usin’ that boraxy stuff. Don’t need none of that fancy stuff, no sirree. We gonna do it the old-fashioned way, the way that gets the fish bitin’ good.
First off, you gotta get yourself some good eggs, you know, the ones that look all plump and juicy. Don’t want none of them skinny, sad-lookin’ ones. Them ain’t gonna catch nothin’ but a headache.
Now, some folks, they use that borax stuff. But we ain’t gonna do that. We’re gonna use somethin’ simple, somethin’ we all got in the kitchen. We gonna use salt. Yep, just plain ol’ salt. The kind you put on your eggs in the mornin’.
- Get yourself a bowl, a clean one mind you. Don’t want no dirt and grime gettin’ on them eggs.
- Dump your eggs in there, careful like. Don’t wanna squish ’em all up.
- Then you sprinkle in the salt. Not too much, not too little. Just enough to cover ’em good. You’ll get the hang of it after a while. It’s like makin’ biscuits, you gotta feel it in your hands.
Some folks, they like to add a little sugar too. Says it makes the eggs sweeter, makes the fish bite harder. Me, I ain’t so sure about that. But hey, if you wanna try it, go ahead. Ain’t gonna hurt nothin’. Just a little pinch, mind you. Don’t wanna make them eggs too sweet, the fish might get a bellyache.
Now, once you got the salt and sugar all mixed in, you gotta let them eggs sit for a while. Gotta let that salt do its work, draw out all that moisture and make them eggs tough. How long you let ’em sit depends on how tough you want ’em. Some folks like ’em soft, some folks like ’em hard. Me, I like ’em somewhere in between. Not too soft, not too hard. Just right.
You can put ’em in the fridge, if you want. Keeps ’em fresh longer. But if you’re gonna use ’em right away, you don’t gotta bother. Just leave ’em on the counter for a bit. An hour or two should do the trick.
And that’s about it, y’all. See? Easy as pie. No need for that fancy borax stuff. Just salt and a little bit of patience. And you got yourself some good, cured salmon eggs, ready to catch some big ol’ fish.
Now, some folks, they like to get all fancy with it. They add all sorts of different things to their cure. Garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder. You name it, they tried it. Me, I stick to the basics. Salt and sugar. That’s all you need, really. But hey, if you wanna experiment, go ahead. Ain’t gonna hurt nothin’. Just make sure you write down what you did, so you can do it again if it works good.
And remember, the most important thing is to have fun. Fishin’ ain’t supposed to be a chore. It’s supposed to be somethin’ you enjoy. So get out there, cast your line, and see what you can catch. And if you use these cured eggs, I bet you’ll catch somethin’ good. I sure have.
Now, there are other ways to cure them eggs too, I heard tell. Some folks use different kinds of salt, some folks use different kinds of sugar. Some folks even use stuff I ain’t never even heard of. But this way, the salt way, it’s the way I learned, and it’s the way that’s always worked for me. So that’s the way I’m tellin’ ya.
So there ya have it. No borax needed. Just plain ol’ salt, and maybe a pinch of sugar if you’re feelin’ fancy. Now go on out there and catch some fish!
